Infineon Technologies Solid State Isolators

Infineon Technologies Solid State Isolators (SSI) provide galvanically isolated gate drives for various MOSFET and IGBT switches in SSR applications. These devices enable the creation of custom solid-state relays capable of controlling loads over 1000V and 100A. The CT-based isolators enable energy transfer across the isolation barrier and can drive large MOSFETs or IGBTs without the added circuitry of a power supply on the isolated side. The innovative protection features enable the design of reliable and robust Solid State Relays.

The SSIs provide powerful energy transmission over a galvanic isolation barrier to drive the gates of MOS-controlled power transistors, such as CoolMOS™, OptiMOS™, CoolSiC™, or TRENCHSTOP™ IGBT. The output side of the solid-state isolator family does not require a dedicated voltage supply to drive the power transistor’s gate. The output side offers advanced control functions such as fast turn-on, fast turn-off, overcurrent protection, and over-temperature protection to easily/safely build up solid-state relays for various applications. This family includes iSSI30R12H, which is tailored for CoolMOS™ S7 T-Sense power MOSFETs offering an integrated temperature sensor. Other parts of the family are for use with external PTC resistors.

Precise protection functions are offered for building cost-effective systems. The input side of the isolator is 3.3V compatible and operates with a supply current of 16mA (typical). The iSSI20R02H, iSSI20R03H, and iSSI20R11H variants come in a DSO-8-66 package while iSSI30R11H and iSSI30R12H come in a DSO-16-33 package.
